Quiet and cozy

It was the perfect cabin for our return to Ellijay. Cabin is secluded so you won’t see neighbors, giant bed is cozy and perfect for after a long day of hiking up mountains. Was also perfect for our dogs.

Cozy little getaway

Our stay at Gunsmoke was terrific: Clean, cozy, well-appointed. really comfy King-sized bed! Great location: not far from town, but well-away from the hustle-bustle. Smart TVs are a plus: watched plenty of football. Had a clear evening when we enjoyed some star-gazing. Looking forward to a return trip - highly recommend!

The cabin was cozy and secluded. The cabin was also well furnished. The cabin is centrally located to the areas that we wanted to visit (20-30 minutes travel time). Visitors should note that GPS will not give accurate directions to the cabin. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice cabin getaway

The cabin was nice the hot tub was a good addition. Communication with the owners was good. There was a storm just before we came that knocked out the power and she kept in touch with us to let us know what was going on with it. The town is nice. It was a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gunsmoke cabin! We brought along our two dogs so the fenced in back yard was a game changer. The cabin was clean and everything was fully stocked with anything we would need. Neighbors are pretty far and the property is surrounded by lots of trees, so very private. Host is very friendly and responds super fast! Lots of outside motion lighting, which is great because it gets super dark out there. It is on a dirt road but it’s not too rough for the average car and it’s nice there is a functioning gate at the front of the community. I would recommend this place to anyone and if we ever return to Ellijay, we will be back!

The cabin was easy to find with gps and easy to get up to in our Corolla. We both loved the view of the beautiful starry sky while relaxing in the hot tub. We had all the amenities we needed and no issues. Activities we did during our stay were chess, cards, horseshoes, hiking, horseback riding, and zip lining. There is a Dollar General less than a mile away, which was really convenient for snacks and drinks. It's pretty secluded, and we loved the privacy. We brought our dog and she enjoyed it, too. The fenced in backyard was great and they even had dog treats which I completely forgot to bring! We grilled steaks on our last night and enjoyed the fire pit. All in all, it was a great trip and we look forward to going again.

Great little cabin!

This is the cutest house! They have decorated the inside and the outside, and it looks amazing! It is so peaceful and quiet there. We had a very relaxing time. The only negative I could say,which the owners don’t really have any control over, is the drive up to the house is really rough. We would definitely stay there again.
